I am AJ Jakubowska - family law lawyer and mediator. I am also human - I understand what can happen when relationships end. Lots of uncertainty, many different emotions, lots of questions. Sometimes it can feel virtually impossible to stay sane. Pressure. Concern. Cost.

This podcast features my comments on various topics related to separation, and my interviews with other humans who help when relationships end – people who look after legal issues, who mediate, who look after hearts and minds, as well as finances. People who could help you plan your future. What you will hear is NOT legal advice. These are dialogues primarily about the human aspect of separation. We try to stay away from legal lingo. It’s humans talking to humans.

I hope that something you hear will help you navigate your way to a sane split.

"Make Each Mistake only Once..." - My Tribute to Philip M. Epstein

Philip M. Epstein is one of Canada’s most noted family law lawyers, mediators and arbitrators. I was privileged to be taught by him as an articling student. He has had a profound impact on my professional life and I learned many lessons from him which have translated into my personal life as well.

This is my small tribute to Phil’s long and incredible career, and a short account, with great appreciation, of what I learned from him.
